Many folks feel that snakes are cute… including myself! For a bit of info, the snake’s eyes are cloudy looking because it will be shedding soon. Snakes are very cool creatures and I love seeing them on CO. Go serpents go!

Some people just can’t get it in their heads that snakes are cute for other people. Anyway, I think it looks right snuggly in there. I think the eyes probably look that way because it’s going to shed its skin soon.

Aw! I’ve only recently been swayed by the snake- I usedto have crazy nightmares about them but recently I stumbled across a beautiful garter snake on a walk in the woods (first time seeing one) and now I’m in love!

I heart non-pyzonous snakes, so of course I love this post! Slither-slither EHN. I want to cuddle heem – once he has shedded and is less likely to be cranky, that is. ….Guy on the grass is on his own when he comes to, though. (Love the “claimed his first vickytim” shot here, too. Not to mention the mode of transport.) 😉

I think snakes are cute! They have tiny heads and always look like they’re smiling 🙂 Funny what different people consider cute. Yeah, snakes are dangerous, but so are leopards and polar bears and who doesn’t think they’re cute? Who, I ask? No one, that’s who. 😛

OMG Jungle Book FTW!! Did you know that the guy who voices the snake is the same voice actor for Winnie The Pooh? Also, pretty sure he was the mouse on Aristocats.
Fun Jungle Book fact: Walt Disney toyed with the idea of the Beatles voicing the Vultures, but he didn’t want to date the film with a band that wouldn’t be remembered in coming decades… XD Oh Irony, how I love thee…

pushy mcshove: Yep, I know! I had to add a “Robin Hood” (cartoon animals version) “Sir Hiss” reference on top of that. Those are still two favorites (along with the Kipling Jungle Book – loved my copy with the ink line drawings to death, sadly).

It was rather jigsawed thanks to me forgetting to SAY that, which I blame on a severe lack of lunch. 😛

Sharpy: Huzzah! The dragdumb is slain! Thanks. 😀

And bookmonstercats: Because they cast off that outer layer over the eye along with the rest of the shed skin. They have no eyelids, see, just eye-armor in the form of an eye-shaped scale!
If you look at a snakeskin, an intact one, it does not have eyeholes – this is why. Unless the snake has a condition which causes it to retain that bit (not supposed to happen and has to be feexed by a snake friendly vet).

omg THIS IS A SNKAE this is so not cute at all i am crying tears of uncutness right now i am telling all my friends to stop visiting this website because its not longer cute because i come here for my daily dose of cuteness and then i find a SNAKE omg

@Gigi 😀 I used to bring a Garter Snake into the house to show my Mom that the ground must be thawed out for the snakes to come out which usually was a sign that Spring had come 😀 I could always bring a snake into the house as long as I took it back out 😀 😈 That way the snake could catch its fill of mice 😈

Beautiful snake! Snakes are so lovely and shiny after they’ve shed. Our littlest corn snake is about to shed any day now. All four of our corn snakes are amelanistic (no black pigment) and have red eyes, so unlike most snakes whose eyes turn blue just before shedding, our snakes’ eyes turn purple!
